Miranda (1909-1955), known as "the Brazilian Bombshell", was a
superstar in that country by 1928. Invited to New York to appear in a Broadway
show, she arrived in the U.S. with her band, the Bando da Lua, in 1939. Miranda,
was the highest-paid entertainer in the U.S. for several years during the
1940s, sold over 10 million copies of her records worldwide, and made
14 films between 1940-1953. In many of her films, which include The Voice
of the Carnival (1933, her debut), Hello, Hello, Brazil (1935),
Bananas of the Land (1939), Down Argentine Way (1940), Weekend
in Havana (1941) and Springtime in the Rockies (1942), she appeared
in platform sandals and towering headdresses made of fruit, earning
another nickname, "the lady in the tutti-frutti hat". Corners worn. Signature
lightly beaded but legible. Lightly toned at edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
